An Improved FSM Method for Web-based Applications

Functional size measurement (FSM) methods are intended to measure the size of software by qualifying the functional user requirements of the software. COSMIC-FFP is a common ISO-standardized FSM method. According to the dynamic characteristic of Web-based applications, this paper presents a COSMIC-FFP-like method to measure the functional size of Web-based applications. Through experiment, it is proved that this extended method is effective.
